The Times Boris Johnson was touted as the saviour of the country and the Conservative Party
obtaining a huge commons majority and finally 'getting Brexit done'. But within three short
years he was deposed in disgrace and left the country in crisis. Sebastian Payne tells the
essential behind-the-scenes story charting the series of scandals that felled Johnson: from
the blocked suspension of Owen Paterson through partygate and the final death blow: the Chris
Pincher allegations. This is the full narrative of the betrayals rivalries and resignations
that resulted in the dramatic Conservative coup - and set in motion those events that saw the
party sink to catastrophic new lows. With unparalleled access to those who were in the room
when key decisions were made Payne tells of the miscalculations and mistakes that led to Boris
Johnson's downfall. This is a gripping and timely look at how power is gained wielded and lost
in Britain today. 'Genuinely page-turning' - Andrew Marr 'Entertaining and illuminating' -
